⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

¹⁰ For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹ Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

⁶⁷ Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;

¹³ That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
